Overview

CVE-2026-98350 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on October 6, 2026.

Technical description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wifi: brcmfmac: cyw: pass PMKID to firmware if present

Zero out auth_status on initialization. Otherwise, garbage will

leak from the stack to the firmware (when ssid is less than 32 bytes

and/or when params->pmkid is set). Then, pass the params->pmkid to the

firmware (without it, the firmware caches a garbage PMKID on successful

authentication and denies a subsequent association request that includes

the PMKID).
